Hmm, under villain tweaks, it says I haven't installed the home button lagfix yet?

Problem with AT&T version of Galaxy S II button order in Villain ROM 3

I just flashed my first ROM (yea!) and successfully flashed VillainROM 3.0 on my AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II. Because AT&T stupidly (imho) changed the phone hardware button key order now the buttons on the new ROM are out of sync -- ie the home button and back button are in different order on this AT&T version. Is there a way to reconfigure this?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] s2d4:
Please go to the at&t section
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pulser_g2:
Umm that should be fixable. Could you get the files from /system/usr/keylayout. sec_key.kl and sec_touchkey.kl

Then compare them to the VillainROM files. You will likely spot a couple of entries swapped over. Let me know which, and send a full copy of the att files. I'll try fixing it for vrtweaks
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] s2d4:
appologies, looks like I've jumped the gun. I've just seen quite a few questions asked, like can't choose select or back in cwm and soft bricked weird things...

Ppl then promptly point them to the at&t section.. so I thought that would be the best for his device model.. sorry again...

Just uncheck audible touch tones in settings>sound

This relates to the samsung keypress. Just tested it.

You could try not flashing the kernel, and using one for your device :)

I will never understand why people go for bloated, badly themed ROMs over brilliant, simple ROMs like this, never. Thanks for this, man :)

I have VR 3.0 installed with ninphetamine 2.0.5 kernal and KI3 modem. I keep losing my wifi connection: if I reboot it`s fine for 5-10 minutes but after that I`d have to reboot again to use wifi. If I change my wifi regulatory domain to 14 channels it doesn`t stick to 14 in the settings - a reboot resets it to 13. Help?

Thanks. I gave it a try and it didn`t make a bit of difference. Going to try rolling back to VR 2.5 as I`ve had nothing but trouble with 3.0

Hi,

I'm finally in the process of upgrading from VR 2.3.0 :eek:

Mostly because after every reboot, the icons in the app drawer kept on shuffling themselves!

I'm guessing it's fine to install over the top after wiping cache etc?

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] AvRS:
The CF kernels seem to be the most popular fix at the moment so probably best to try that before giving up.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] :
i dont get why people are having so much troubles with kernels...ever since i used Pulsers rom i only go for one kernel and thats the one he recommends with his rom Ninp 2.0.5. its solid and gives me good battery life...tried all the rest but i always end up coming back to that one...

so big thank you to him for the suggestion and keeping it with the rom:D
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] AvRS:
I'm the same never had any issues with any ROM's to be fair but most of all VR as ran these the longest. Guess it proves every phone is unique lol
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] nikzDHD:
VR with CF Root based on KI3 stock kernel is a great combination. No issues on my end nor my sister who is running the same set up. Speed, performance and battery life all good.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] :
totally agree with you mate...every rom i use i give a test drive of the kernel..if im not happy i always go to ninp..dont know why but it always gives me the best results...so i know i already said it but thanks to the team for bringing it to us:)

and yeah each phone is unique i say...mine brings Pixie Lott out of the screen and she stays the night with me...Man i love my phone:D

What's the best cpu setting and voltage for this ROM?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] jameslfc5:
It's annoying me looking now :/ so can someone please point me in the direction of VillianRom 3.0 changelogs?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] serrov91:
No changelog is provided as far as Samsung doesn't provide any.. The only thing to know is that VR 3.0 is based on an official KI3 ROM and that it runs bugless! =)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] jameslfc5:
So it doesn't say what tweaks he has included or anything like that? :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pulser_g2:
They are not in the ROM. They are optional via VRTweaks
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] jameslfc5:
Cheers :) So the VR 3.0 is completely stock, rooted and deodexed and anything extra is to be added via ROM tweaks?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] mrgrey1701:
By way of an update on my wifi drop out problem I appear to have sorted it out: I did a factory reset in cwm, wiped cache and dalvik cache, I installed VR 3.0 with ninph 2.0.5 and KI3 modem. Set everything back up with the help of Titanium backup and resisted the urge to install any of the VR tweaks. So far, an hour into use, all is fine and dandy. The only difference between this setup and my problem one is me not using VR tweaks.

Thanks Pulser for the rom and to everyone who tried to help
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pulser_g2:
Correct
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] TheIntersect:
I've done the same as you, but I still get Wi-Fi disconnects after a few minutes or so.

All in all the phone as been unresponsive until after it managed to install and restore the various updates - I had to leave my phone alone for more than 30 minutes! :p
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] serrov91:
You can flash ki3 CF-Root kernel from Chainfire. It will be the only solution to have your WiFi issue gone! =)

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] AvRS:
Simple, yet effective. I for one like choice as opposed to having things forced onto my phone, where no other ROM gives you that choice it's just assumed the latest popular tweaks are what everyone wants so are included. VR = Freedom of choice which is why I don't look anywhere else :)

KI4 modem

Rightly so.... even the famous Villain boot screen states "Free Your Android". I guess there is a splash of complete and utter honesty behind that statement.

:p

EDIT (on another note): I ended up flashing KI4 modem earlier after reading some reports of it actually being better for some than KH3 (which I have been using for like 2 months). So lets see how KI4 does, of course I will report the results after few days have passed. If anyone wants to try it as well, the link is in my sig. Thanks to kalpik for the zip, I just reuploaded it. :D

Any update for the new KI8 2.3.5 firmware that just came out. Not sure if its newer than the current KI3, or if its better, but theres a few links on the General section of these forums, might fix the wifi issue some people are having ???

Isn't KI8 just a different CSC update..

Nothing really changed from KI3 if im not mistake.. "/
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] :
i would not be asking for updates if i was you buddy...if something is working fine and most are happy why update just for the sake of a higher number...i have played with the new KI8 and really IMO does not offer anything special then KI3 does.....oh yeah just a bit bolder fonts.....for me KI3 and i think alot of guys in here will agree best to stick with whats working for you and perfect it even more
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] AMDPOWERFIST:
Wasn't requesting an update, was more-so asking if there was anything in the works or plans to make/create a possible Villain 3.1 or something from the new KI8.

By your theory of "best to stick with whats working for you" - alot of previous Villain Rom versions worked fine.... but if we always stuck with what "works" as aposed to a newer number, we might not have anything new.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] :
when KH3 came out pulser stuck with KG6...reason why? because it was solid people were happy with the battery life that it was giving them and tweaks were working so everything was good...Now 2.3.5 came out and Pulser thought that update was needed as the 2.3.5 firmware was worth updating the rom to...So i will say this to you again...if the team feel that KI8 isworth updating to they will..but if its just a minor update then i doubt it...and if its working why break it...:p

so above is the example of what i was trying to say to ya

and newer number doesnt mean its always better than the old one;)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] AMDPOWERFIST:
Yeh i totally understand what your talking about (bigger numbers arent always better numbers).

I just thought maybe the new KI8 might have a fix for this wifi bug alot of people seem to have. Im not sure. I personally dont have the issue, my KI3 VR3.0 works fine, but there seems to be a fair few people that do. Maybe this new KI8 hasnt got this issue, and might be worth the 3.1 transition...

All up to the VR team really.

I'll always update to the newest version of VR, been using it ever since it came out months ago.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] netcitizen:
I have tried the KI8 build.it's as stable as KI3 .not much of a difference. The only thing I noticed was that the android process battery consumption remained always less than 10%. (mostly at 5) and the thicker fonts as others mentioned.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] the4finger:
Sorry if this has happened before but whenever I toggle my wifi the next time my phone locks it will go into airplane mode. Any ideas what's causing this?

Hey Geko sorry buddy didnt mean any offence by saying what i said above..I just meant i took Pulser's recommendation from reading in the thread here and used it. And since i used it thats my fave kernel i use with any rom i flash..And i read in the thread here that alot of people recommend it...I myself when people ask me what kernel i use i always recommend the ninp 2.0.5...

Apologies again my friend....I like to try different roms and kernels and love to play about with them..But ninp is the one i like to come back to because of what you said above...So thank you guys....
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] CamoGeko:
I have to admit, I had a similar issue. :)

After flashing VR 3.0....... superuser, cwm manager and busybox disappeared without a trace. So effectively I lost root.

I fixed the issue by downloading cwm manager from the attachments list then flashed cf-root ki3. That gave me back my su and bb, I them re-flashed ninphetamine.

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] CamoGeko:

fastest phone ive ever owned with go launcher/ aosp theme and jkay tweaks!!!all i need is the stock google 3g gallery app. does anyone have an apk we can use with this rom? the one it comes with its choppy with scrolling, prefer the stock google one. Also the calls log shows sms messages too, is there anyway to filter them out so its just phone calls? thanks

Try quickpic for images its far better than the stock gallery imho.

Well, finished work today and after a full day of fm radio and music via poweramp, 1 quick phone call and a few texts and emails - im at 70% when going home.

... Seriously, how good do people want their battery - most people charge it back upto 100% every night anyway.

My very old blackberry storm 2 would have been on 10-20% with this usage (that battery sucks!) ... So 70% is awesome.

Getting very poor wifi with VR3.0. Thought it was the modem (KI3) but did a full wipe and put back on KG2 and wifi was quick and had a strong signal.

Now updated to VR3.0 again but kept the KG2 modem but wifi is really bad, keeps connecting/disconnecting and basically makes my phone unusable indoors, even in the room next to the router it's doing it.

Im glad my signature has helped you out, however please read all instructions carefully at the beginning of this thread (post no 2). They clearly state that VR 3.0 is supposed to be flashed via CWM recovery, and not via ODIN.

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] cybern:
I have the VR already installed. My thing is with the radio because i have some network unavailable issues that believe will get solved after a radio update. I believe the radio update can be done just by itself right? After already have the VM eith the Ninphetamine kernel running.

To do the single install i will need to do it via odin or CWM recovery and choose update from SDCARD?

Can you point me in the direction of said radio, the ROM is great its just those connectity issues I am getting annoyed with.
